Embedded fonts not found in BIRT 3.7.1 [message #973236]

Hi,

we use BIRT 3.7.1 integrated in our web applicaion using the POJO method
and somehow the font loading from the "fonts" subdirectory of the
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine bundle doesn't work anymore. It worked in
all BIRT version before. We supply two fonts in the fonts directory to
be sure to have these fonts always available no matter which system
fonts exist.

The problem seems to be in the method "getEmbededFontPath" of class
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.layout.pdf.font.FontMappingManagerFactory:

The call to

Platform.getBundle("org.eclipse.birt.report.engine");

returns null, so that not font directory is set and our font is not found.

Any ideas how to resolve that without too much hassle? We cannot install
our fonts on all platforms we support, so the fonts subdir was always a
convenient way.

Sorry, bundle is "org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.fonts".

You might take a look at this thread: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/648561/

It appears that the getBundle() call is a platform call that may only work with OSGi. This may be why it doesn't work with the POJO runtime.

You could also look at this thread: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/893803/

It talks about dealing with fonts with the POJO and OSGi runtimes.
